***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

When I saw that Buttler missed stumping I was like 'Kieswetter would have taken that'. He probably wouldn't have but Bairstow and Buttler's keeping for England has been real poor - but that really shouldn't be a surprise given neither are regulars.

I;m no technician but Buttler keeping to Tredwell reminded me of myself when occasionally I have to take the gloves. Just not used to keeping regularly and not anticipating quickly enough where to put the gloves and where to move.

Long term it looks good for England as you have to assume one of these guys will step up but in the short term it's a worry that none of these guys are actually good wicketkeepers.

Was a horror moment for Buttler, tbh. Just didn't move his gloves to try and take the delivery until after it had passed. Can only assume it was a lapse in concentration.

Poor play from Sky TV is not broadcasting the replay at 2pm today, especially considering they have the cameras & equipment there for tomorrows game.

Henry with a wicket. Great that he's back playing. Best talent since Southee? Hopefully doesn't take as long as Southee to grow a brain.

So this looking like a rather big score. Butler (4 overs for 43) serving something tasty to Buttler on 32(15).
